The first AI recorder to support Bluetooth earphone recording via BlueCatch™, alongside three recording modes, bi-directional noise cancellation, and free transcription, paired with HiNotes 3.0 featuring AI-powered todos, smart labels, whisper note aggregation, multi-model AI support, and live translation.
HiDock, a leader in AI-powered communication tools, is inviting media to test and review the HiDock P1, its compact AI voice recorder designed for professionals who need reliable, high-quality call and meeting capture in any environment. Paired with the HiNotes 3.0 productivity platform, the P1 offers a complete end-to-end workflow for recording, transcribing, organising and actioning spoken information.
Designed for professionals, remote workers, and creatives who manage calls and meetings throughout the day, the HiDock P1 introduces a new approach to recording by enabling users to capture conversations directly through their own Bluetooth earphones. Powered by HiDock’s proprietary BlueCatch™ technology, P1 pairs with widely used earbuds including AirPods and Sony models, recording both sides of calls across platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Discord without the need for bots or intrusive software integrations. This approach addresses a longstanding limitation in AI recorders, particularly in environments such as cafés, airports, or shared workspaces where flexibility and privacy are critical.
At the core of the P1 experience are three versatile recording modes designed to adapt to different real-world scenarios. Call Mode leverages Bluetooth earphones and bi-directional noise cancellation to ensure clarity during phone calls and virtual meetings, even in noisy environments. Room Mode captures group discussions using super-wide-band audio, making it ideal for team meetings, interviews, and collaborative sessions without requiring earphones. Whisper Mode enables users to record low-volume, close-range audio by simply long-pressing the device, allowing for discreet capture of personal notes, ideas, or spontaneous thoughts on the move.
HiDock’s bi-directional noise cancellation technology further enhances recording quality by filtering background noise from both ends of a conversation. Unlike traditional active noise cancellation, which focuses only on the user’s side, the dual-core neural audio processor reduces distractions such as keyboard typing, traffic, or ambient chatter from all participants. This results in clearer recordings and improved transcription accuracy.
The device also introduces VoiceMark, a physical bookmarking feature that allows users to mark key moments during recording with a single press. These timestamps are automatically highlighted within HiNotes, eliminating the need to review entire recordings to locate important sections. A magnetic base allows the P1 to attach securely to laptop lids, whiteboards, or other metal surfaces for hands-free use, while tactile controls provide quick access to essential functions including volume, mute, call handling, Bluetooth pairing, noise cancellation levels, and recording.
With support for up to 8 hours of continuous recording, 64GB of local storage, and compatibility across Windows and macOS systems, the HiDock P1 is built to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows. It supports 75 languages and is designed to work effortlessly with widely used communication platforms, ensuring broad accessibility for global users.
HiDock positions the P1 as a solution to common frustrations in the AI recording category. By eliminating the need for meeting bots, enabling transcription without mandatory subscriptions, and supporting existing Bluetooth setups, the device offers a more natural and flexible recording experience. The inclusion of free transcription and AI summaries further reinforces its value, allowing users to focus on conversations rather than post-meeting admin.
HiNotes 3.0
Complementing the hardware, HiNotes 3.0 represents a significant evolution of HiDock’s software ecosystem. Moving beyond basic transcription viewing, the platform introduces a redesigned three-pane interface that improves navigation and readability, alongside a new dashboard that centralises recent notes, upcoming tasks, and key updates in one place. The update focuses on turning recorded conversations into actionable outputs, helping users stay organised and follow through on key decisions.
AI-powered todo extraction is a central feature of HiNotes 3.0, automatically identifying action items within recordings and linking them directly to the exact moments they were discussed. Whisper Notes further enhance productivity by allowing users to combine multiple short voice recordings into structured documents, while Smart Labels enable automatic categorisation based on natural language descriptions.
The platform supports a range of leading AI models, including GPT-5.4, GPT-4.1, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Pro, giving users the flexibility to choose the most suitable model for different meeting types and content. Additional features include over 30 professional summary templates, customisable prompts, improved speaker identification, and direct integrations with tools such as Notion and Google Docs.
HiNotes also introduces Live Transcription and Translation, enabling real-time multilingual communication across languages including English, Chinese, and Japanese. Available in both Call Mode and Room Mode on the P1, the feature allows users to generate live transcripts and summaries without storing audio recordings, addressing growing concerns around biometric privacy. During its Beta phase, live sessions support up to one hour of continuous transcription, with extended capabilities planned in future updates.
Together, the HiDock P1 and HiNotes 3.0 deliver an end-to-end solution for capturing, organising, and acting on spoken information. The hardware focuses on making recording seamless and unobtrusive in any environment, while the software ensures that recorded content is transformed into structured notes, actionable tasks, and meaningful workflows.
